Your first visit is usually longer than follow-up visits. This gives time to review your health history, assess your concern, and begin treatment. Your appointment length depends on your needs and the type of visit.

You may feel relaxed, lighter, or notice gentle changes in how your body moves. Some people also feel mild soreness for a short time. Your response depends on your concern and how your body reacts to treatment.
